JAMES C. KIMSEY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO AMERICAN PAPER BOTTLE COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENN- SYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE.

PAPER MILK-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 770,076, dated September 13, 1904.

Application filed June 16, 1903.

T0 at whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J AMES C. KIMsEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Paper Milk-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles or tubes, and is more especially an improvement upon the invention set forth in my prior application for patent, filed June 5, 1903, Serial No. 160,236.

The primary object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of the bottle, and consequently reduce the cost of the same, the same being accomplished by improving the construction of the top or mouth, whereby the same is more securely fastened to the tube or body and is provided with very simple means for holding the cover or disk in place.

The invention consists, therefore, in the particular construction and combination of parts, all as hereinafter fully described, and specifically set forth in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation with a part of the upper end broken away to show the manner of connecting the flanged ring or mouth of the bottle to the body or tube. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the upper end of the bottle, showing the disk or cover applied.

A. designates the body of the bottle, which is preferably cylindrical in shape and composed of a paper tube, one end of which is closed in any suitable manner to form the bottom of the bottle.

C designates the flanged ring or mouthof the bottle, and in the present instance this flanged ring is provided with outwardly-projecting spurs c, struck from the ring into the tube to assist in holding the former in place, while similar spurs or points 0 project from the inner side a short distance above the flange c and serve the purpose of holding the cover or disk D in place. The flanged ring is of such size with respect to the inner diam- Serial No. 161,721. (No model.)

eter of the tube that considerable pressure is required to force it into the same, so that it will be held by frictional contact, and after it is in place the spurs 0 are struck therefrom into the tube, the spurs or points a being formed before the ring is applied.

In the application hereinbefore referred to the cover or disk was held in place by tongues formed from the flanged ring being bent into engagement with said disk or cover, while in the present instance, as hereinbefore explained, the said disk or cover is held by the points or spurs.

An ordinary disk may be used as a cover for the bottle; but I prefer to employ the closure herein shown and forming the subjectmatter of aprior application for patent, filed May 14, 1903, Serial No. 157,154, comprising a sheet of paper D, folded in opposite directions to provide a finger-engaging edged within the periphery of the disk. WVhen the disk is forced into the mouth of the bottle, the outer edge will pass below the points or spurs c and be held thereby, and by providing the finger-engaging edge d the said disk can be readily removed.

By constructing the parts of the bottle as herein shown and described the same can be manufactured at small expense, and when intended for use in delivering milk or other liquid the inner side is coated with paraffin, and when used for coffee or as a mailing-tube the inner surface may be left plain.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A paper milk-bottle, comprising a tube closed at its lower end, a ring secured in the upper end of the tube and having an inwardlyprojecting annular flange at its lower end, short points or spurs struck from and projecting inwardly from the ring at a short distance above the flange, and a paper disk fitting into the ring against the flange below said points or spurs and over which latter said disk is adapted to be forced, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

2. A paper bottle; comprising a tube closed at its lower end, a ring fitted in the upper end of the tube and having an inwardly-projecting annular flange at its lower end, two sets of points or spurs struck from either side of the ring, one set being embedded in the tube and the other projecting inwardly from the ring at a short distance above the flange, and a closure fitting in the ring upon the flange IO and engaged at its upper edge by the inwardly-projecting points or spurs, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAMES C. KIMSEY.
